Guy,

 

Those attachments are called "Core Hogs" and I purchased them through Par-Aide. (They are on page 64 of the 2011 catalog)  They will attach to virtually any Toro, Jac, or JD walking mower, with a little tinkering.  They work pretty well, but need to be set up properly in order to do so; also, having a good operator behind it makes a HUGE difference!!!  We start just a few inches into the plugs in order to keep from overloading the blade... (that's when they start falling out and making a mess)  It takes a lot of passes to clear a green, but still muck quicker than shoveling and less disruptive than using harvesters.  Let me know if I can answer anymore questions.

 

Regards,

 

Mike
